On July2, 1937, Amelia Earhart( an American pilot) and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific. This was the longest and most dangerous part of their t【1】around the world. Earhart had trouble soon after the plane took off. The weather was very bad, so she had to f【2】at 3,000 metres. Going this high, the plane used fuel quickly.

After about 20 h【3】, Earhart and Noonan got close to Howland Island. The island was o【4】about 65 miles (英里) away, but the bright sun was shining in their faces so they couldn’t see it. Near Howland, a ship was w【5】for the plane. Earhart contacted the ship: “We don’t have enough fuel,” she said. The ship tried to stay in touch with her b【6】got no answer. Finally, the ship called for help. People looked for Earhart and Noonan for days. However, they found nothing.

What happened to Amelia Earhart? No one knows for sure. D【7】the flight, she probably moved in the wrong direction(方向) because the sun was bright and it was d【8】to see. So she got lost; soon after, her plane ran out of fuel, and she died at sea. Another idea is that she survived(幸存) the plane crash(飛機失事), s【9】to a lonely island, and later died there. Still other think she survived the crash and secretly returned to the U.S. with a new identity(身份).

Till now, none of these i【10】has been proved. People are still wondering about them. (Noonan’s body has never been found either.) No matter what happened, Earhart probably died as she wished. “When I go,” she said, “I’d like best to go in my plane.”

試題本文敘述了Amelia Earhart和 Fred Noonan這兩名飛行員前往 Howland島進行了一次旅行。天氣惡劣，所以他們不得不飛在3000米的高空，因此燃料用的很快。大約20個小時后，Earhart 和Noonan接近了Howland島。但是，一艘船正等在海上，想和Earhart取得聯(lián)系，但是沒有得到回復(fù)。人們在海上搜尋，沒有找到。關(guān)于Earhart發(fā)生了什么事，有很多說法，但是沒有一個得到證實。

【1】根據(jù) Amelia Earhart( an American pilot) and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific.可知這兩名飛行員離開New Guinea前往 Howland，這是一次旅行或旅途。故此處為 travel/tour/trip。句意：這是他們環(huán)游世界的最長最危險的旅途的一部分。

【2】根據(jù)Earhart had trouble soon after the plane took off.可知飛機起飛了，故此處他們是飛在空中，故用動詞fly。句意：天氣惡劣，所以他們不得不飛在3000米的高空。

【3】根據(jù) Earhart and Noonan got close to Howland Island.可知他們接近目的地 Howland Island，因此此次旅途用去大約20個小時，故此處用名詞復(fù)數(shù)hours。句意：大約20個小時后，Earhart 和Noonan接近了Howland島。

【4】根據(jù)about 65 miles (英里) away,可知他們里這個小島有65英里，此處強調(diào)距離近了，故用副詞only“只有”。句意：這個小島只有65英里遠(yuǎn)。

【5】根據(jù)The ship tried to stay in touch with her可知這艘船想和她保持聯(lián)系，故推斷正在等著她，根據(jù)was，故此處用現(xiàn)在分詞waiting。句意：在靠近Howland島的地方，一艘船正在等著這架飛機。

【6】根據(jù)got no answer可知這艘船想和她取得聯(lián)系，得不到回復(fù)，故此處表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故用連詞but。句意：這艘船想努力和她取得聯(lián)系，但是沒有得到回復(fù)。

【7】結(jié)合句意，這架飛機還沒有著陸，故此處是在飛行期間，故用介詞During。句意：在飛行期間，她可能飛錯了方向。

【8】根據(jù)because the sun was bright可知陽光太亮了，她很難看清東西，故此處為形容詞difficult。句意：因為陽光太亮了，很難看到東西。

【9】因為她是駕駛飛機在一個小島上面，飛機墜毀，她可能調(diào)入大海里，可知她會游到一個孤島上，故用動詞swam。句意：另一種說法是她在飛機失事中幸存下來，游到了一個孤島上，然后死在那里。

【10】文中對于Earhart 的生死有很多說法，故此處用名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式ideas。句意：直到現(xiàn)在，這些說法，沒有一個得到證實。
